Novell eDirectory server startup failed.

Resolution
eDirectory 8.8.2 is not fully supported in Solaris zones.
As a workaround - The ndsd script was altered so that the
'priocntl -e -c FX -p 60 -m 60 $sbindir/ndsd'
became
$sbindir/ndsd
The command removed here was setting a fixed (user and process) priority of 60 for ndsd process on Solaris. This change was added to 8.8.2 because using the FX (Fixed Process Scheduler) on Solaris provided significant improvement in search performance.
Full zone support is scheduled to be included in a later version of eDirectory.
